The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2596: Spiritual Beast Awakens

After Matthew dealt with the matter of the magic picture, he did not stay on the desolate island for long.

His figure flashed, and he disappeared like a ghost, leaving only the sealed magic picture standing there, with complex light flashing in its eyes.

When Matthew returned to Tianshan Island, it was already dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire island blood red.

Inside the cave, Matthew sat cross-legged, tapping the stone wall with his fingertips, making crisp sounds.

Through the Heavenly Illusion Demonic Pupil, he already knew the truth that Mo Tu was seriously injured.

The great battle with the Blood God more than three hundred years ago left this powerful demon with an incurable wound.

The remaining aura on Motu's body was the trace left by Motu when he came to seek elixir when he was seriously injured and dying.

He held his chin with one hand and gently drew some complex runes on the stone table with the other hand.

"More than three hundred years have passed. How much has Mo Tu recovered from his injuries?"

This thought kept lingering in his mind.

Suddenly, Matthew raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "The more serious the injury, the better. It saves me a lot of effort."

He didn't think any more, and quickly made hand gestures with his hands, and a faint purple light appeared around him.

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the waters surrounding Tianshan Island, the fight between monsters and tree-man puppets never stops.

What is amazing is that the number of tree man puppets seems endless. Every time a batch is destroyed, new ones will immediately fly out from the Sky Island and join the battle.

These tree puppets have been improved by Matthew and are no longer comparable to the past.

They are dark golden in color, with mysterious runes on their bark. Each branch is made of fine steel, and they bring gusts of wind when waved.

The most terrifying thing is the light flashing in their eyes, which shows that these puppets have acquired a certain level of combat intelligence.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a huge sea monster was torn into pieces by three tree man puppets. The dark green blood sprayed on the sea and was immediately absorbed by the vines lurking under the water.

These vines are extensions of the tree man puppet's roots. They can not only absorb the essence and blood of monsters to replenish energy, but also send the spoils back to Tianshan Island through the underground network.

Everyone on the island has long been accustomed to this.

Early in the morning of that day, three bird calls suddenly rang out in the sky above Tianshan Island, piercing the clouds and splitting the rocks.

The sound was sharp and piercing, yet it carried a strange rhythm that shocked the hearts of those who heard it.

Lan Yue, who was drawing the talisman, felt her hand tremble and almost spilled the cinnabar.

Liu Yulong, who was setting up the formation in the secret room, also stopped the flag in his hand and looked up at the sky.

Even Bai Chen, who was usually calm, couldn't help but walk out of the cave, his eyes full of surprise.

I saw three huge birds circling in the sky.

The two largest wings were two hundred feet long when spread out, and their entire bodies were jade-green in color, with the edges of their wings glowing with metallic gold.

Every time they flap their wings, they leave a faint golden trail in the void that lasts for a long time.

The one in the middle was slightly smaller, but still a hundred feet long, with brighter feathers. It was obviously a young Jade Golden Roc.

Xing Yan looked up at the three divine birds, her throat rolling unconsciously: "It's only been a few years, and that young Peng has grown to this point..."

The most shocking thing was the aura emitted by two adult Jade Golden Roaring Pengs.

The overwhelming pressure was like an abyss and an ocean. If it were not for the restrictions of the laws of the human world, it would have already broken through to a higher level.

Their sharp eyes swept across Tianshan Island, as if they could see through all illusions.

After circling in the air for several times, the three divine birds suddenly let out a long cry at the same time and rushed towards the northwest.

They were incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye they turned into three golden dots of light and disappeared into the sky.

"What did the master send them to do?"

Yue Ru asked softly, but no one could answer.

Only Matthew, who was deep in the cave, raised his lips slightly and a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.

Just when everyone was still discussing the appearance of Qingyu Jin Xiaopeng, a deafening dragon roar suddenly came from the main peak of Tianshan Island.

There was supreme majesty in that voice. The monsters that were fighting on the sea froze in place upon hearing the sound. The tree man puppet seized the opportunity and killed a large number of them in an instant.

"Rumble--"

The main peak began to shake violently, rocks rolled down, and smoke and dust rose up.

A dazzling colorful light burst out from the belly of the mountain and shot straight into the sky.

In the light, a huge dragon slowly emerged.

This dragon is nearly three hundred feet long, and each scale is the size of a shield, reflecting a dreamy rainbow of colors in the sunlight.

The most eye-catching thing is the pair of huge fleshy wings behind it, which can create gusts of wind with a slight flap.

"The seven-colored treasure-scale dragon... has finally awakened." Tears welled up in Xing Yan's eyes and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

As one of the earliest spirit beasts to follow Matthew, she had witnessed the dragon grow into its current form.

The colorful treasure-scaled dragon circled gracefully in the air, and every movement was filled with innate nobility and majesty.

It suddenly lowered its head, and looked at Yueru with its huge vertical pupils, with a hint of kindness flashing in its eyes.

This subtle movement warmed Yueru's heart. She knew that the dragon still remembered her.

After the colorful treasure-scaled dragon flipped in the air for a while, a dazzling colorful light appeared on its body.

Then, the colorful light shrank, and the colorful treasure-scaled dragon disappeared. Instead, a little girl about eleven or twelve years old in a colorful long dress slowly fell from the sky.

"Master, the aura of these four spirit beasts is very powerful, not weaker than ours at all." The Azure Dragon Beast King, who was setting up the formation, said with a serious expression after witnessing what had just happened.

"That's right, the master has never summoned these four spirit beasts before. Could it be that the master intends to use those four spirit beasts to replace us?" The Black Tortoise Beast King said with a frown.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the other three beast kings changed slightly.

Although they think this possibility is unlikely, they cannot rule out this possibility.

Since they followed Matthew, they have seen things that ordinary people could never see, and have also learned a lot of things they had never been exposed to before.

They all knew that being around Matthew was extremely beneficial.

Especially when Matthew had previously spoken to the four of them individually, what he said was closely related to their fate.

Originally, they thought that their position in Matthew's heart was already stable.

But only after the four spirit beasts appeared now did they begin to feel pressured.

Moreover, they all knew that Na Luo had not come out yet.

In other words, Matthew has no shortage of spiritual beasts around him.

"Everyone, put aside your little thoughts. If we don't do well, we might be abandoned or sent back to that hellhole." The White Tiger Beast King said after taking a deep breath.

When he said this, the other three beast kings also nodded heavily.

Matthew, who was sitting in the cave, also heard the entire conversation between the four beast kings. There was a faint smile on his face, as if he had done everything on purpose.
